"Sugar, Sugar"
Misheard Lyrics: I just can't believe the love I get for loving you
(I just can't believe it's true). Original Lyrics: I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you
(I just can't believe it's true). |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Corinne Auterlehr I thought I pretty much knew this song. Then I went to an exercise class where it was among the songs playing on the sound system. When it came to the first line above, all I could hear of it was as the misheard version I've cited. I was baffled as to what the real lyrics to that line were. So I tried to remember my mishearing until I got home and could a lyrics site. When I found the real lyrics of that line, They sort or kind of "rang a bell". |

Dated Song Lyrics:
"Truck Driver"
The Dated Lyrics: Truck driver, you've got all those license plates
Why They're Dated: It used to be that in the U.S., a truck doing interstate business had to have a license plate from each state it traveled in. Now, such a truck only has a license plate from the state that is its home base.
